INTRODUCTORY NOTE. 



Salisbury old burying ground, the original church-yard, is an 
enclosure, nearly square, and containing some three-quarters of an 
acre of land. The town became possessed of it 29 May, 1750, by 
a deed of gift from Robert Walker of Stratford, an original pro- 
prietor of Salisbury. The earliest date recorded in the yard is that 
found upon the tomb-stone of Dr. Wade Clark, who died Aug. 6, 
1750. 

Since about the year 1830, when burials became infrequent, the 
yard has been kept in a fair state of repair. In general the inscrip- 
tions are well preserved. A few stones are broken; a few are illeg- 
ible. There are many unknown graves. 

Of the three hundred inscriptions in this pamphlet, some have 
been secured only by diligent effort. All of them have been care- 
fully verified. No stone has been wittingly left unturned.
